Virtual vs. reality in cone-beam CT-guided robotic-assisted bronchoscopy
CTBD, i.e., displacement of the actual target lesion from the virtual location, is common during navigational bronchoscopy. When targeting peripheral lesions, the catheter is more likely to be closer to the lesion or beyond it than expected based on the virtual planning. Bronchoscopists should anticipate CTBD and integrate data from various intraoperative imaging tools to attenuate its impact on sampling and avoid potential complications.
